Calling all shower insert experts!

Water puddles and sits on all of the shelves and floor every shower. Obviously it is normal to have some water all over, but is this normal? Shouldn't it tilt down enough to let the water drain, not just sit?

We bought this house two years ago, and it has been one thing after another that we've had to fix because the previous owners built the entire house and did everything themselves. 😣

I mean, it looks like it wasn't done perfectly, but it's certainly functional still, right? Is it under warranty or something? Otherwise I would leave it- the water pooling on the plastic won't cause any harm, it will just need cleaning a little more frequently.

Yeah, I have to scrub it more often than I would like, and my caulk is stained red from the irony water. This bathroom is window-less, so I'm worried about potential mold issues?

That sounds like a pain- but not enough of a pain to replace the whole thing (if it were me). The mold that grows on plastic and grout isn't the kind that causes health problems, and it should be easy to stay on top of it if you clean often. But that's me- I suppose if you have an extra couple of thousand to buy/install a new one...then it might be worth it?
